The group traveled day and night after leaving Zhucheng, and several days later they finally arrived at Qihe Town, not far from the border of the Great Chu.
As soon as we settled into the inn, Yu Mo's message arrived.
"Take a look," Gu Qingyue said, handing the book to Mu Yun Chu after she finished reading it.
Mu Yun Chu quickly finished reading. "The cities are in chaos. It seems that the Great Wizard has brought out her hidden forces, and the King of Nanzhao's control is limited."
“We must return to Great Chu quickly, or Nanzhao will likely deploy troops on the border,” Gu Qingyue said thoughtfully.
Generally, if there is unrest or other disturbances within the country, troops will be deployed appropriately along the border to prevent other countries from taking advantage of the situation to attack.
As a shrewd and capable emperor, the King of Nanzhao must have made arrangements before the heavenly sacrifice.
She left Yu Mo with a few people in Zhucheng to gather information, hoping to get the situation as soon as possible.
Mu Yun Chu completely agreed with her opinion, and Zhang Xu Bai, Zhang Qing Xuan, and Qin Fang also had no objections.
So, the group returned to Nanchong Pass, the territory of the Great Chu, early the next morning.
"Your Highness Prince Li?" Zhao Yushan came over as soon as they settled into the inn.
"Hmm," Mu Yun Chu nodded, gesturing for him to go outside to talk.
There has been internal strife in Nanzhao. Presumably, the Great Chu has received the news. Mu Yun Chu needs to discuss it with Zhao Yu Shan. Nan Chong Pass is the largest and closest pass to Nanzhao.
It is vital.
Zhao Yushan only had time to nod to Gu Qingyue and the others and exchange a few pleasantries before hurriedly following Mu Yun Chu away.
After watching the two of them leave, Gu Qingyue came back to her senses and looked at Yue Ling, who had just come in.
"Have you found out where Third Brother is?"
As soon as Gu Qingyue arrived at Nanchong Pass, she asked Yueling to find out where Gu Yuanming's delegation was. Since her father had woken up, she wanted her third brother to see him.
"We're resting in Meng County," Yue Ling said, her eyes and brows beaming with smiles.
Gu Qingyue raised an eyebrow, sensing that something interesting was about to happen.
"There are two officials from the Ministry of Rites. One has caught a cold and is recuperating, while the other has fallen off his horse and injured his leg and is also recovering," Yue Ling said in a low voice.
Gu Qingyue wanted to give it a thumbs up. Sure enough, they "found a way" to stop the delegation. Since those officials from the Ministry of Rites were the Crown Prince's men, it wouldn't hurt to sacrifice them.
whee.
"The Third Young Master must be arriving soon," Yue Ling said. She had already sent the young man from Yueying Pavilion who was staying in Meng County to inform Gu Yuanming. He should arrive at Nanchong Pass soon, since it wasn't far away.
"Yue'er?" Gu Changling listened to them excitedly without interrupting, knowing they were talking about his third son.
"Father, don't worry, Third Brother will be here soon. You should rest and wash up first, and the time will be just right."
Gu Qingyue smiled, relieved that her only worry was her father's memory.
Gu Changling's return to the Great Chu was naturally kept secret.
Apart from his own people who went to Shenxian Valley with him to rescue people, no one else knew his identity.
Including Mo Shaoshang and the others who came here from Zhucheng, in their eyes, the disguised Gu Changling was just a taciturn guard.
After Gu Yuanen and Gu Changling went to wash up and rest, Gu Qingyue turned around and went to wash up as well, presumably she would be able to rest for a while.
Gu Qingyue closed the door, turned around, and entered the space.
She took a quick shower, climbed into bed, and fell asleep instantly!
I've been really exhausted lately.
"A-Yue".
Outside the door, Mu Yun Chu returned and knocked on Gu Qing Yue's door. Hearing no response from inside, he roughly knew what was going on, so he decided not to disturb her.
"Come in".
Just as Mu Yun Chu was about to leave, Gu Qing Yue's voice came from inside.
He then pushed open the door and went inside.
Gu Qingyue sat on the edge of the bed, still half asleep, looking at Mu Yun Chu with her smile undiminished.
"You're back. Have you made all the arrangements?"
"Yes, the Lizhou camp received the news a few days ago and has already made preparations for defense, so there's no need to worry."
Gu Qingyue nodded. "Where are you going?"
Seeing that he showed no intention of sitting down to talk, she knew that Mu Yun Chu would definitely leave soon.
"I need to go to the Lizhou camp first to see the Grand Commander."
Mu Yun Chu's tall figure approached Gu Qing Yue, enveloping her in his shadow, his tone gentle as water.
"Rest for a bit before you go," Gu Qingyue naturally knew the importance of this matter.
She reached out and grabbed his large hand, feeling a pang of heartache.
Like herself, Mu Yun Chu hadn't rested much these past few days, and there were already dark shadows under her eyes.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't heartbroken.
Mu Yun Chu smiled and ruffled her long hair. "No need. We need to get there as soon as possible. I've already sent Mu Dong ahead to deliver the message."
The information Mu Yun Chu and her group had was more specific and detailed. Whether or not to start a war with Nan Zhao at this time, they needed to discuss it with the Grand Commander and the Ministry of War.
"Hasn't the message already been sent? Why don't you rest for a bit before you go? It will take several days to get to the Lizhou camp. Are you planning to stay up all night?"
Without a word, Gu Qingyue instantly transported him into the space.
Mu Yun Chu helplessly patted Gu Qing Yue's back.
He knew that Yue was worried about him. To be honest, he wasn't made of iron, so how could he not be tired?
Since it was Ah Yue who said so, he naturally did as she said, hoping to ease Ah Yue's worries.
Seeing Mu Yun Chu asleep on her big bed, Gu Qingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as Gu Qingyue finished dressing after leaving the space, Yue Ling ran over and said that Gu Yuanming had arrived.
In Gu Changling's room.
Gu Yuanming knelt properly at Gu Changling's feet, his eyes red like a rabbit's.
As soon as Gu Qingyue entered, she wanted to help him up, but Gu Yuanming insisted on not getting up.
Compared to Gu Yuanen and Gu Qingyue, his younger siblings who had never met Gu Changling since childhood, he felt even more guilty and sad.
He must have met his father, Gu Changling, when he was a child.
However, due to their incompetence, after their father fell off a cliff and disappeared, the three brothers spent nearly sixteen years without finding any trace of Gu Changling, causing him so much suffering over the years.
The thought of this caused him immense heartache and self-reproach.
"Ming'er, get up," Gu Changling couldn't bear to see a grown man crying so miserably, so he reached out and helped him up.
Even after Gu Yuanming wiped away his tears and stood in front of Gu Changling, he still felt like he was dreaming.
The group talked for about fifteen minutes, then the three told Gu Changling to get some rest.
His body is still very weak, and he needs to rest more and recuperate quickly. The journey back to the capital is still very long, so he shouldn't be unable to withstand the strain on the way.
As soon as Gu Qingyue returned to her room, she went to her spatial dimension and brought Mu Yun Chu out.
Fifteen minutes is equivalent to half a day in this space. Sure enough, Mu Yun Chu looks like she has rested well and is much more energetic.
"Ah Yue, thank you. I need to get to the Lizhou camp as soon as possible. I'll have Qin Fang escort you back to Lizhou City. Please be careful on your way."
Mu Yun Chu held Gu Qing Yue tightly, whispering softly, and kissed her pink lips before reluctantly leaving.
